Viktor Orbán “We Represent an Opinion Which is the Same as the Majority Opinion of European Citizens”

Wednesday, December 13, 2017

GOV : The following video is the first half of an appearance by Hungarian
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on the TV panel show “Daily Actual”, hosted
by Zsolt Bayer and Andrea Földi-Kovács. (Part 2 is currently being
translated, and will be along in due course.)
Mr. Orbán is impressive, as always. His remarks here are particularly
notable, because he isn’t reading a prepared text or working from notes
— he’s obviously adept at off-the-cuff discussions. Many thanks to CrossWare for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling.

Note: The remark (at 1:04 in the transcript, ~ 0:40
in the video) about “whether we have a hat on or not” is a reference to
an old joke. CrossWare has kindly supplied a translation of the joke for
those who are interested; I’ve put it just below the video. As far as I
know it’s the first specifically Hungarian joke I’ve ever heard.

The Hat Joke
The fox and the wolf meet in the forest.

—

Hey wolf, let’s beat up the rabbit!

—

Why?

—

Well if he has a hat, that’s why; if he doesn’t, then that’s why!

This is what they do. They beat up the rabbit badly…
They meet again a week later.

—

Hey wolf, let’s beat up the rabbit again!

—

What will be the reason this time?

—

Well, we’ll ask for a cigarette, and if he gives us one
with a filter, that’s why; if he gives one without a filter, then
that’s why!
